Kevlar Single Yarn 1000 Denier

High tenacity single yarn made from aramid fibers like Kevlar, with a denier of 1000, used primarily in industrial applications such as ballistic fabrics and protective gear. It falls under HTS 5402.11.30 as it is synthetic filament yarn of aramids, single yarn, not put up for retail sale. The high tenacity property and nylon/polyamide composition including aramids classify it precisely here.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

5402.11Same rate: 43.8%

If not of aramids but other high tenacity polyamides like nylon 6,6

Aramid-specific subheading excludes other polyamides; non-aramid high tenacity yarn shifts to other categories within 5402.11.

5402.31Lower: 18% vs 43.8%

If textured rather than high tenacity

High tenacity yarn has distinct heading from textured filament yarns, which fall under different subheadings based on processing.

5503.20.00Lower: 39.3% vs 43.8%

If in staple fiber form rather than continuous filament

Chapter notes exclude filament tow from 5402/5403; aramid staple fibers are classified under Chapter 55.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify high tenacity certification and aramid composition via lab tests to confirm classification under 5402.11.30 and avoid misclassification as standard nylon yarn

• Provide detailed yarn specifications including denier, twist, and tenacity in commercial invoices to facilitate customs clearance

• Ensure yarn is not packaged for retail sale; bulk spools are required to prevent reclassification under retail headings
